Friendly and fun. Nice and secluded too. You can sit at the bar and have as much or as little as you like to eat, or just have a drink and a chat. More

With red-shaded candles inside and out, the wine bar looks welcoming at night, an impression confirmed by a friendly reception. The menu and wine list are available on-line, and for our visit four red and four white wines were available by the glass (20 MYR): this time the reds were an Argentinian Cabernet, a sweet German red, and two Bordeaux....

Penang takes pride in its growing recognition as a food place. One sort of food or another is sold on every street corner. And it is usually a pretty tasty and unusual tidbit. But sadly, one typically just consumes, not experiences, the food. I found a great exception to this rule at That Little Wine Bar. At this restaurant, I... More

I love coming back here, and try to get to do so each time I'm in Penang for a few days. Was treated to an absolutely splendid delight this last time, which I just had to share - a new DUCK dish. Yes, thats right, duck. OMG, heavenly! Thick juicy slices of duck breast in this heavenly red pepper sauce,... More

I work/live in KL and travel often to Penang for business. One of my many 'highlights' is settling in the comfort TLWB offers. The late afternoon ambiance makes this the perfect place to unwind. The clientel are mostly world traveled, happy, and are regulars. The rest of us are curious, adventurous and enjoy the enlighted conversations on different wines and... More

Nice feel and look to the place. The concept is cool. Execution however is poor. Food/drink prices are expensive. that's OK if it was really good but alas, it isn't. It's just an average attempt to serve fancy "foreign" dishes to locals who are not very exposed to better levels of quality. For example, i had their fois gras and... More

Cosy wine bar and restaurant that I have been to many times. Hostess/owner is tremendously engaging and whilst I note other reviewers have taken issue with her style, I think it adds to the charm of this place. It is nice to have someone go to the extra effort to provide a unique service, something that is hard to find... More

Made my first trip there. Didn't quite like the seating area and food was just ok. I would say- quite pricey for such small portion of food. This bar is quite well known for dining your food+wine. They have 50 over varieties of wine made available on the menu. I never went back since my last encounter. More
